The protagonist climbs consecutive floors of the tower, while discovering both its secrets and those of his own past.

Mechanics

In Ghostrunner, players observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). During the game they travel through gloomy locations illuminated by the glow of colourful neon lights. The exploration is made more attractive by the possibility of climbing the elements of the surroundings, jumping over chasms, and even running on walls. In addition, the protagonist has a kind of "energy whip" which allows him to cover longer distances in the air and is useful in combat. Enemies can be eliminated by surprise or in open combat with the use of melee weapons. Interestingly enough, one accurate attack is enough to kill an enemy. In addition, creators allow players to slow down time, for example to avoid enemy fire in time.

Technical aspects

Ghostrunner has high quality three-dimensional visuals. Artistic direction, detailed textures, and finally animations of the hero and his opponents are bound to be appreciated by many players. It is complemented by a catchy, atmospheric soundtrack intensifying the fast pace of the game.
